There a lot of conditions which can be diagnosed by history and direct examination.. Video laryngoscopy is usually done to explain the situation to you more easily as you can see it with your eyes. These days doctors are avoiding endoscopic procedures to avoid cross infection from one patient to another from the scope or to the doctor themselves.. Its nothing wrong in diagnosing lpr by clinical assessment.
